We published this informant/eye
witness report on 19/10/2015:
“Sir, every lawmaker is given at least N500 million for
Constituency and Senatorial projects, and some principal officers are given
over N1 billion. Most of them don’t do anything. And for those that are
captured in the appropriation act (This is the act that permits money to be
paid to Senators and Reps for local development), they personalize the things
they do and over flaunt the monies paid to them.
It is either that the government stops giving money for
constituency projects and channel it directly to the people or cancel the
appropriation act. I don’t see the sense in giving a lawmaker N1 billion and he
spends only N20 million for a constituency project that is not worth just N5
million, which would not impact positively on the lives of the citizens of his
constituency.
Sir, please I would like it if this information reaches
everybody in Nigeria, so that they start to hold these lawmakers responsible.”
